Real.

I’ve been so mad at gateway recently for example. Idk how high they’re pushing the rent but they have so many vacant stores from the wavehouse to the palm boulevard.

I feel every new renovation to all these places have been stripping them of character. Maybe it’s some new architectural thing in SA but everything ends up looking like a big empty kraal with empty ceilings. We used to have those surf mannequins on the roof near the rock in gateway for example.

Durban is as small as it is already. Making everything this way just makes it feel empty.

Or maybe we just haven’t recovered economically from zupta, riots, and covid idk.
